Partners

Partnership members

Surrey’s 12 local authorities (County, Borough & District Councils) along with Sport England and Surrey Playing Fields, are the founding core partners. They remain so and have since been joined by a wide range of other agencies; there are currently 35 funding partners/sponsors, and many more partners/stakeholders both within and from outside of sport. For a full list, click here.

The Partnership aspires to be an open, inclusive, cross sector, multi-agency partnership involving all individuals and organisations with an involvement or interest in the development of sport and physical activity. Significant funding partners have Service Level Agreements in place.

• Community Sector – including local authorities, youth, health, social care, businesses and other non-sport organisations related to the cross cutting themes and wider physical activity landscape;

• Education Sector – including schools and school sports associations, the local education authority, and Further and Higher Education institutions.

Partners of Active Surrey agree to work co-operatively to achieve the agreed aims and objective of the Partnership and provide resources, both human and financial, as agreed when specific programmes are developed. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is being developed as a non-legally binding statement of intent as to how the partners wish to work together in partnership to achieve common goals.

Partner Forum

The Active Surrey Partner Forum is a stakeholder representative body set up to encourage all groups, networks and organisations to have a voice in developing and delivering the Surrey Physical Activity Strategy. Partner Forum members are driving the strategic working groups, play a major part in deciding the content of the annual Surrey Physical Activity Conference and feed back information and actions through their networks and upwards to the Active Surrey Board.
